Many of us are familiar with the story of King Solomon, who famously chose to ask God for wisdom instead of riches. Because of this wise choice, God not only granted him great wisdom but also blessed him with wealth beyond measure.
But how many of us truly follow Solomon’s example? What do we ask for in our own lives?
Have you heard about the gift of the Holy Spirit? Have you ever desires to have them?
When we focus on acquiring wealth without wisdom, we risk losing that wealth quickly if we don’t know how to manage it wisely. That’s why it’s important to seek spiritual gifts alongside material ones.
Let’s take a moment to briefly look at the seven key gifts of the Holy Spirit, which can guide and support us in our lives:
Wisdom: The ability to understand what truly matters, enabling us to make good choices in life.
Understanding: The gift that helps us grasp deeper truths, especially those important for our well-being and inner peace.
Counsel: Allows us to seek God’s guidance on important life decisions that affect our happiness.
Fortitude: Gives us strength and courage to do what is right and to stand firm in our beliefs, even in tough times.
Knowledge: Helps us make sound judgments about what is right and just so we can stay on the right path.
Piety: Involves showing love and respect for God and treating all people with dignity because of their connection to Him.
Fear of God: This is a respectful awe of God that encourages us to stay close to Him and avoid actions that would distance us from His love.
So, as you think about what you want in life, remember not to focus only on material possessions. Instead, seek wisdom and these spiritual gifts that can help you enjoy and maintain any wealth you may gain.
Be like King Solomon! He got wisdom wand got everything else!
Shalom ❤️
